For one of the Kansas City Chiefs’ marquee players, Thursday’s opening night contest against the Baltimore Ravens will be extra special.
A year ago, defensive tackle Chris Jones watched Kansas City’s opener against the Detroit Lions from the stands as his contract dispute with the team continued. Jones rejoined his teammates for their Week 2 contest against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
“I’m excited to be playing in a Game 1,” said Jones before Monday’s practice. “It’s been two years, so [I’m] looking forward to it.”
Just before free agency began in March, Jones and the Chiefs agreed to a new four-year pact.
